Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ: LULU) price target raised from $74 to $85.
Analyst, Stacy Pak, said, "LULU reported another strong quarter with revenues up 51%, comp stores sales up 26%, and operating income up 61%. Ample inventory enabled the company to meet previously unmet demand and still deliver a gross margin of over 56%. Inventory is expected to be more closely aligned with sales by 4Q12, but increased flow, product introduction, and innovation should continue to drive a strong top line."
Pak also highlights better-than-expected men's, increasing from 12% to 14%. Also, 2012 should continue to be strong as international store openings (including London, Hong Kong and in Australia) push sales higher.
